I'm not sure about this one. Personally, I like the armor. But HAM is, for lack of a better word, "sexy". Higher HAM will sell more droids. The average joe looks at a probot and sees the 820 HAM, and doesn't see anything past that. If the probots end up around 3000 HAM, they will be far more marketable to the average player.

Agree - I guess that's what I was trying to say above.

However, am I right in believing the Armor nerf is retroactive? If the droids I'm selling now loose all armor (even the ones in deeds) it's going to be inexcusable, since they told us to stock up on deeds AND chassis in preperation for this.

I've sold a fair amount of my backstock in the past week, but if I get stuck with 200 droids that have 830HAM, crappy damage, and nerfed armor - man, to say I would be extremely upset is an understatement after we were told to stock up. I can handle the lower stats - but if they retroactively nerf the armor they will be utterly useless, and I will be one P'O'd Droid Engineer.

With as much as they have done and all their marketing, I don't think there's much chance we're going to see any DE changes until the next iteration beyond basic bug fixes and possible small changes. And those would probably be in Publish 8.

Hopefully once this patch hits Live we'll all be a bit happier and selling droids/Repair kits at a decent rate.

It could be a good thing having the increased HAM since people don't look beyond just a high HAM rate. It is going to be the "wow, droids have a decent HAM now ! I gotta get one!"

I guess I am going to have my factory crank out a bunch of advanced probots now. We all know that the armored probot is still going to be better overall. With the droid stimpaks, it will be a lot easier to heal a droid with 800 HAM vs 3000 HAM or so. I guess I will stock pile some for when people realize just how much better they can be.

I'd be careful with this. If they are nerfing the armor, the pre patch deeds might not carry the medium armor, so you might make a bunch of Probots with 820 HAM, and when you "activate" them after the Publish, they might come out with crappy armor.

Ugh, you think ?? I already have around 50 of the current probots in crates. That would royally suck ! Maybe I will just make 25 more and save the 200 or so chassis for the new probot.

I don't know, I'm just speculating, but the way this game is coded, if they get rid of the medium armor, it wouldn't surprise me if it was retroactive as well.
